After mentioning &#8216;Tropic of Ruislip&#8217; which became the TV programme &#8216;Tropic&#8217; that proved to be a bit of a failure I didn&#8217;t realise there was also a TV series called &#8216;The Last Detective&#8217; based on the &#8216;Dangerous Davies&#8217; book. It was certainly more successful than &#8216;Tropic&#8217; running for 17 episodes in 4 series&#8217; from 2003 to 2007. The only reason I found it was while looking for something better to watch that &#8216;Eurovision&#8217;\u00a0I\u00a0came across\u00a0&#8216;The Last Detective&#8217; being rerun on the &#8216;DRAMA&#8217; channel.
